minimal difference between them and i do think he's around 185, 186cm.

Look at the interview with Craig Ferguson. Graig is 6'1.5 Butler is max 0.5 in shorter than him. Butler is wearing sneakers, Ferguson wearing shoes with higher heels. So min 6'1 for Butler. In another interview with Ferguson, Butler looks even taller than him. JoshJ says on 12/Mar/10

this is the most straightish one i could find but butler is in front and cooper seems to be slouching abit. butler does seem a tad taller though but no one can be sure. mrydealing says on 10/Mar/10
he was half an inch shorter than cooper at the oscars and the vanity fair party he was barely bigger than denzel is this guy 184-185 6'0 1/2 to 6'0 3/4 kevin says on 8/Mar/10
bradley cooper looked to be about 1cm taller than him. maybe cooper is 186cm and butler 185cm. or just shoes, posture whatever and both are exactly 185cm. Hugh 190-192cm says on 4/Mar/10
Brosnan 187cm and Butler 185cm Daveyy says on 27/Feb/10
Solid 6'1 dmeyer says on 23/Feb/10
same height as brosnan in the movie they did together but brosnan had footwear advantage so 185 for brosnan and 186 for him joker 184 says on 23/Feb/10
There is atleast 5 inches difference between Gerard and Jennifer aniston Aniston and Aniston is always in heels.So Aniston is listed as 5'4" and with heels she can be 5'6",that makes Gerard 6'0".But that is just an estimation. AlphaG says on 18/Feb/10
I don't know if this helps, but I have noticed that if two men are the same height, and one is very thin and the other one is stocky, the thin man will look taller. My husband is 6'3 1/2", and about 250 lbs. My neighbor's husband is very, very thin, and very tall. I would have sworn until two days ago that my husband was a couple of inches shorter than my neighbor, but we were together at a social event, and the two men were standing side by side, and my neighbor was barely 1/2 inch taller than my husband. I was stunned that my husband's extra bulk would make him seem 2 inches shorter, when actually the two men are almost exactly the same height. Something to think about when we're trying to figure out comparative heights. John says on 14/Feb/10
186 cm yes, looks exactly this height to me Lenad says on 10/Feb/10

By the way, my opinion 6ft max Lenad says on 6/Feb/10

Recent pics of Butler barefoot on the beach. Doesn't look 6'2" looks nearer 6' to me... Must weigh around 220 at the moment. Karl Karlsen says on 1/Jan/10
Truth is: Everyone rounds up his height. I think he's 6'1-6'1.25 and he makes it a 6'2 (in shoes probably). But still a tall guy and he's a nice actor of course! Hugh 190-192cm says on 30/Dec/09
Anywhere between 185-187cm looks good Hugh 190-192cm says on 28/Dec/09

6"1 minimum. but Doesn't look much more than 6"0 in 300 and in Butterfly on Wheels next to Pierce Brosnan. Jim says on 17/Dec/09
I worked with Gerry on Law Abiding Citizen. I am 6'2 1/2" and He was about an inch smaller then me. Super nice guy though!! Mac says on 9/Dec/09

what does it matter how tall he is? seriously. it makes no difference if he's 5'11" or 6'2" or anywhere inbetween.. his above comment seems like nothing more than a little bit of humor Hugh 191cm says on 19/Nov/09

same height as jonathon ross if not taller Liz says on 13/Nov/09
Brosnan wears boots with heels PDL says on 12/Nov/09
Man, he's totally lying! He's shorter than Pierce Bronas about 0.5 to an inch. But Pierce is 6'1" so how can he be 6'2" Shaun says on 12/Nov/09
I thought 6'2" was too high for him as he looks about that height in shoes. I see him as a 6'0.5-6'1" guy.And the comparison to 6'1.5" Brosnan is proof. Matthiew_- says on 11/Nov/09
Looking at the picture of Colin Farrell and Butler posted by Rising Force and the pic with Forrest Whitaker ( a legit 6'2 ) and Joel Schumacher I have troubles seeing Butler over 6'0 .
He seems to be 2 inches taller than Farrell ... who is around the 5'10 mark ( and that's being generous , he looks an inch shorter than Bridget Moynahan in the Recruit and she looks small next to Will Smith who's a legit 6'2 in " I Robot " )
Click Here
Now that how a 6ft2 guy should look next to Farrell ( and a 6'1 guy in Schumacher).
Sorry people but either Farrell is rocking the mega lifts in his pic with Butler or Butler is struggling to reach 6'1 .
Not to mention the Rob quote " I'm 6'2'. Wait! Don't quote me on that. I'd better ask my publicist " ... LOL What kind of answer is that ... If anything that proves he is on the weaker side of 6'1 ( people tends to overbill themselves generally and Gerard looks preoccupied by his height ... ) Ano says on 1/Nov/09
So funny that sides like this excist!I was wondering if Gerry was in it too and yes, he is.:-))) You're probably not going to believe it but Gerry is a relative of mine. That doesn't mean I see him often, it's been ages now. But last time I saw him, he was still a tall guy.;-) Don't ask me about his exact height, I never measured him! But someone once told me that he was tall, but not as tall as she thought he was. So maybe he looks a bit taller sometimes. In Scotland he isn't such an exception, though not al Scotsmen are tall. Original says on 27/Oct/09
Looks shorter 1.25 inches than Santoro.
Butler is 6'1.25". Hugh 191cm says on 22/Oct/09
Looks similiar to 6ft2 Rodrigo Santaro star says on 21/Oct/09
Have u seen the show Heroes? Jack coleman on Heroes, he plays Noah, looks 6'2". Gerard never towers over anyone as much as jack does. I just saw him on SNL and he didn't look soooo much taller than anyone. I agree with de person who's says he's a strong 6 feet and prob slouches. Hugh 191cm says on 19/Oct/09
A weak 6ft2 rob? Anonymous says on 19/Oct/09
He's less that this. Look at pictures with him beside Raul Bova who is 5 '11". If anything Bova looks taller which is probably due to foot ware. I'd say a strong 6 foot for Butler. Ace says on 18/Oct/09
He was taller than Bill Hader when they were both in flat spartan sandals on SNL. I think Bill Hader is probably a flat 6`1, and Butler might be 6`1.5. Liz says on 13/Oct/09
Star...I saw the movie several times. If you get the dvd, look at the scene just before they get into the elevator. She has her shoes off..and she's on the left side of the screen. THey're waiting for the doors to open, and GB is leaning against the right side of the screen. She has her heels in her hands. Star says on 9/Oct/09
Wow Liz, it's rude for you to call me delusional over this. If perceptions lie to us them maybe your brothers perception was off, not mine. That being said here is a picture of him on set with Jenn Aniston. She is 5 ft 4.75 in according to this site and in this picture wearing three maybe four inch heels and reaches his eye. So assuming she's 5'7'' to 5'8'' in heels, (debatable depeding on how much leverage you believe heels give you) he looks only 3 inches inches taller than her here 5'11 or 6'' and slouching.

Like Katherine, I am 5'9, was wearing flats when i saw him. I did see the Ugly Truth and I dont remember seeing a full body shot of him in the elevator with her, just from the waist up. But in pictures she doesnt look that much shorter than him.
theres no reason to take it so personally. i didnt insult his looks just said he's not as tall in person. Anonymous says on 9/Oct/09
all the talk about him being a big looking man means nothing, will smith looks about 6"4 and he's just touching 6"1 (fact),I have been in his company as i'm a fellow scot and we both follow glasgow celtic soccer club, he was there to watch celtic winning the league 2 years ago , i am just under 6"2 and i'd say he was around 6"-6'6" at best, and for the record craig ferguson is 6'0" doii says on 2/Oct/09
looks 6 foot to me maybe 6.05 Liz says on 30/Sep/09
Star, are you delusional? Did you see "The Ugly Truth"? Katherine Heigl is aat least five-nine, and in the elevator scene, she takes her heels off before they enter it. Gerard is six-two...he's so much taller than she. Five-eleven is laughable, really. Perhaps you were mesmerized by his eyes, and you lost your your depth of perception or something. My brtoher who is six feet tall and who lives in NYC in the West Village...happened upon Gerard on the street. He said, "The guy's probably six-two or three." (No, he didn't get an autograph for me, however, darn it!)I always feel that I'm taller than people , too, and I'm only five-six. A man I dated was five-eleven, and I felt I was looking at him eye-to-eye..Perceptions lie to us sometimes. Trina says on 29/Sep/09
Just adding my two cents - people who mention that he seems shorter in 300 but to state the obvious, was not that film subject to massive digital manipulation? Star says on 19/Sep/09
Sorry but I saw him in person recently and he is about 5'11. I'm 5'9 and he wasn't much taller than me. Unless he slouches a lot he is upgrading his height two inches. Moke says on 8/Sep/09
I love this site. On almost every indication you can add 1 cm and the result is exactly right :) NICOL says on 7/Sep/09
WHEN YOU SEE HIS FACE AND HIS BODY I DON'T THINK THAT YOU CARE ABOUT HIS HEIGHT!!! ANYWAY I GUESS HE IS 186. HE IS FROM SCOTLAND AND I KNOW THAT THE MAN THERE ARE TALL apo says on 4/Sep/09
josh.j your photo doesn't prove anything.
1.wilkinson is seriously slouching and he's feet are uneven showing he's putting his weight in only one leg. I don't think he looks more than 6' in this pic.
2.Butler wisely standing as straight as possible, and he's also slightly closer to the camera giving a extra boost, if you don't believe me check where his feet are set.
3.he looks as tall as the bald guy next to him, I think he's somewhere around 6'0.5-6'1 barefoot Johnny G says on 25/Aug/09
seems right 6'1.25" Liz says on 24/Aug/09
How do yo know that Ferguson is not six-two? Gerard is going to be on Sept.1 on David Letterman, and onSept. 4 on Jimmy Kimmel. See what you think then. Did you see "The Ugly Truth" ra second before the elevator scene? Katie Heigl had her shoes off..and if she is five -eight..Butler looks six foot three! He is really tall. Clay says on 22/Aug/09
Liz, Ferguson is not 6'2, he was an inch shorter than Dev Patel who is listed on here as 6'1.5. Liz says on 12/Aug/09
Here I am again. I beg to differ about comments about Gerry and Craig Ferguson..I looked back in slo mo and stop action on my antiquated VCR...they look the same six-foot-two height. Also, I have somewhere a picture of Gerry and Colin Ferrelll..and Colin is actually on a step, and he's still shorter than Gerard. And...Pierce Brosnan always wears boots withheels...making Gerry taller in "Shattered"...where they'll vitrtually the same height..but Gerry has no big-heeled boots on. Hugh 191cm says on 9/Aug/09
He did look shorter than Pierce Brosnan. But in my opinion Brosnan is 6ft1.75 so 186-187cm could be spot on for Butler. No shorter than 6ft1. Josh.J says on 5/Aug/09
Click Here
in this pic he looks the same if not slightly taller than mark strong who rob has at 6'1.5". the edge might come from better posture or camera angle. gerard is certainly taller than 6'1 tom wilkinson by more than a cm so i think he needs an upgrade to 6'1.5" / 187cm. Seph says on 28/Jul/09
I think 6'2" is about right... Clay says on 27/Jul/09
Danny, look at him next to Craig Ferguson, he is obviously not more than 6'1.5. Look at pics of him on this page next to Colin farrell, more proof he is at best a weak 6'2. 6'3 for him is not possible because that would make Conan 6'5.5. Danny says on 26/Jul/09
I always thought Gerry looked like a strong 6ft 3 in all honesty. 6ft 1.25 sounds bogus to me, sorry to say. Clay says on 23/Jul/09
Liz, I have seen both of Gerard's appearances on Craig's show and he was shorter both times by about an inch, you tell that just by looking at their heads and shoulders. Conan calls anyone who is muscular a big man. By the way Conan is 6'3 at the most, he is not a legit 6'4. Liz says on 22/Jul/09
Oh, dear, I have 3 comments in a row..Oh, well. Did any of you see Gerard on Craig Ferguson last nigh?(7/22 in the am?_He was at least as tall if not taller than Craig. He is such a big-looking man. I remember that Joel S. (director of POTO)said he "looked like a god." Liz says on 18/Jul/09
Gerard was on Conan's show on Thursday,and Conan (who's at least six-four)said to him, "You're a big man..." So what does Conan think is big? Liz says on 10/Jul/09
Gerard is the cover story on August's Esquire magazine. Great article and pix. Inside the author of the piece says just three words about Butler's height: "A big man." So...I think he is still six feet two! bobo says on 18/Jun/09
The Prov. Xerses was playing a 7 foot character.
can we assume you are pulling our leg? TheProv says on 17/Jun/09
Wow...in 300 he seems a lot smaller than rodrigo santoro (Xerses)...But they are only 3-4 cm. different! Realme2008 says on 4/Jun/09
Wow, he's a strong 6'1" it appears. Look how much he is leaning in, and there still is at least a 4-inch difference. Hugh 190cm says on 3/Jun/09
186cm is right. Gerry's Ruler says on 1/Jun/09
He's 6'2" comfortably. I measured him, and I'm not giving any more details than that! Hugh 190cm says on 16/May/09
This guy is pretty close to 6ft2. 186cm is correct. J.J. says on 11/May/09
if he is 6'1.25" then that makes Idris elba 6'3.25"
[Editor Rob: Butler definitely loosens his posture at times. Watch RocknRolla when he stands straight with strong/elba.] Liz says on 2/May/09
"Noman's" comment (March 11) stated that the"lieutenant", actually Stellios, in the apple-chewing scene in"300"...was very tall. The actor is Michael Fassbender, and he lists himself at six feet tall. Gerard is taller than he by two inches at least when they're closer together. Also, all of the Pierce Brosnan being GB's height...? Doesn't Brosnan always wear boots with big heels?
I also saw an interviewon a British talk show with GB circa "RNR". Ater the hosts came back, the woman said, "My, he's a gorgeous big boy." The male co-host then agreed, "Yes,he's a big boy." Would they say that if he were only a six-footer? ikbtops says on 21/Apr/09
My vote 6' even. 6'0.25" out of bed. 6'2" after two weeks in outer space. bobo says on 14/Apr/09
very interesting. Some people have been going bald for years (Christian Slater, Nic Cage, Kevin Spacey) and then suddelny show no further signs of receeding. SOme members of the public actually think you reach a certain point of baldness and then somehow STOP Losing your hair. I have friends who think Tom Hank's is all genuine hair. What annoys me about the media, is that they will pickon some usual suspects like Travolta, but people like Hanks are allowed to maintain the illusion. The best thing about the past few years is the emergence of Jason Statham as a bona fide star. I bet there are loads of actors who would want to de-wig themselves but haven't got the guts.
Better say something about Butler...he looks his height in all hsi films. THe below 6 foot crowd are NUTS. He is a big bloke. Rastus says on 14/Apr/09
Bobo, good ones. I've noticed that Robin Williams has sprouted some thick hair recently. I'm also intrigued that Chris Martin from Coldplay seems to have gone from 'see through' curls to thick and dark. bobo says on 13/Apr/09
Rastus
Mel Gibson and Jamie Fox are two others. Christian Slater, Tom Hanks.
The media pick on John Travolta for having false hair but not the other obvious ones. Hugh 190cm says on 8/Apr/09
Actually Brosnan had a slight edge on Butler. Doug says on 6/Apr/09
Yeah he looks a similar height to Brosnan between 6'1" and 6'2". Hugh 190cm says on 3/Apr/09
No less than 6ft1. Similiar to Brosnan's height, maybe 1cm under. 186cm is perfect. Rastus says on 2/Apr/09
Yes, Celebhair.com would be great. I'll start with Matthew McConaughey, Bono and (bizarrely) Rob Brydon, who is now sporting a thick and curly mop after being nearly bald six months ago. Original says on 27/Mar/09
He's 183cm, 184cm. GB says on 27/Mar/09
I can't believe this site exists! wow! so you guys all question how tall someone states they because you're what, insecure about your own height right?? Inferiority complexes are rife aren't they? Do you all feel threatened by an actor if they become popular? this is hilarious. I guarantee i'll be telling everyone I know about this site. Hey bad publicity is publicity none-the-less! Hugh2 says on 21/Mar/09
He's no less than 6ft1 and certainly no less than 6ft! Hugh2 says on 20/Mar/09
That is the exact same comment as Nick's posted on 11/Jan/09. You are you trying fooling. watson says on 17/Mar/09
No way is he 6'1.5", hes 6 foot AT BEST, more likely 5'11-5'11.5". Here he is with 5'11.5 Bruce Willis Note that Gerard probably has dress shoes on along with that suit hes wearing and hes still just barely eye to eye with Bruce. Gerard's true height is EXPOSED lol RisingForce says on 16/Mar/09
Yeah, Butler doesn't even seem 2 inches taller than Colin. Your claim does look good there for Colin. In fact Colin looks over 5'11" there.
I've seen Butler look shorter next to a lot of guys. In fact your head comes up to his eye level and you're both leaning, maybe he's leaning a bit more so I can't see him taller than you by more than 5 inches. RisingForce says on 14/Mar/09
Look at this picture that was posted below of Gerard and Colin Farrell.
Click Here
I still say that Gerard isn't a hair over 6'1". His horrible posture makes him look under that sometimes. RisingForce says on 14/Mar/09
I see Butler look under 6'1" in a lot of pictures and I assume that's posture, but regardless I think he often looks too short to be anything more than a weak 6'1". bam says on 14/Mar/09
no, he's a strong 6'1, 6'1.5. He isn't far from his 6'2 claim. Comets says on 13/Mar/09
i'd agree, Gerard is atleast 188cm tall so he is more closer to 6'2 than 6'1 \\\\-_-_-(Hugh)-_-_-/ says on 13/Mar/09
181cm! He's clearly much talle rthan that. Butler is a very solid 6ft1. 186-187cm. RisingForce says on 12/Mar/09
Butler is a weak 6'1" and his bad posture can make him look shorter. Noman says on 11/Mar/09
check the scene in 300 when Gerard/Leo is taking to 'the captain' while eating an apple. His lieutenant [ who is clearly very tall] runs up to report. He immediately kneels, covering the height difference. Now also look at the lifts on Leo/ gerard, in that same scene, plus the scene with Ephialtes??- lifts are evident. Additionally compare him to Christian Bale in Reign of Fire- they are generally equal in height. I am a solid 5'9" and Bale is a bit taller than me. again the leaness of his musculature is evident..it makes him look taller. Therefore GERARD = BALE = 5' 11 at the MAXIMUM . Another item to consider is that when casting actors, mooost of the time they will not put a 6'1+ tallish with a 5'7ish. Consider Minority report: Tom & Colin /Alexander: Colin farrel & Jared leto [ I stood next to him at a 30seconds-to -Mars concert, and he must be 5'8- 5 '9 . Henceforth my arguement back to 'Reign of fire'...these guys clock in at 5'11" and no more Anonymous says on 9/Mar/09
I agree with Leo76. Butler is about 181cm, but he does give an illusion of bein taller, could be due to body structure. Jim Jones says on 9/Mar/09
Hes 6.075 if he straightened out, I'm 6'2 and my tip of my nose touches 5'8 leo76 says on 9/Mar/09
same height as raoul bova and christian bale, i guess 181 cm maybe 180; if you wonder why he looks taller....the answer is 'elevator shoes'. maximus says on 8/Mar/09

-Jim, Are you Jim Jaffe, who worked as a product placement executive on Law Abiding Citizen? Jim says on 28/Feb/09
I just worked with Gerard on his new movie Law Abiding Citizen. I am 6'2.5" Gerard was a bit smaller then myself. Solid 6'2" One thing he does, it lean alot on one knee during while his pictures are being taken. So solid 6'2" for him no doubt. And another note, Bruce Willis, is known to have his wardrobe made to fit the shoes he wears to make him an inch or so taller. Same principal with Stallone, and Paul Walker. Do not be fooled. Liz says on 4/Feb/09
Apo...I was referring to ROSSIF SUTHERLAND, not Donald!!!! You are confused: didn't you ever watch "Timeline"??? And...since "The Fast and Furious" is coming out soon, look at Paul Walker with Vin...he's a definite six foot three. I say that the Ger is six foot two. Emily Mortimer in "Dear Frankie" with Gerry thought he was six foot four..even though she's five foot eight. She thought he was huge. She wrote an interview for "Interview" magazine about him. Also, he was the cover story in the New York Times Style magazine a few years ago: the writer of the article described him as "very tall." That would apply to a six foot two guy...not just a six foot one. Liz says on 3/Feb/09
APO: When I mentioned Sutherland in my previous post, I was referring to ROSSIF Sutherland, Donald's other son!!!! (Didn't you know that Donald wasn't in "Timeline"?) Rossif is very tall..reportedly six foot five...So please amend your statement since you were confused. 5 ft 3.5 says on 2/Feb/09
Yeah, I'd say he is around 6 ft 2. He was around 7 inches taller than 5'7" Emmy from Phantom of the Opera. Hugh says on 1/Feb/09
This guy looks near 6ft2. 186cm is the minimum. More likely 187cm. 188cm is a bit of a stretch. Perhaps out of bed Butler is 6ft2? Anonymous says on 31/Jan/09

liz, donald sutherland was 6'5 during the 70's. Now he's listed 6'2 here, at most 6'3, just an update. An if you believe blindly to Walker's claim of 6'3, than what r u doing on this site? The whole point of this site is to determine the real barefoot height of celebrities, putting their claim to the test. Liz says on 16/Jan/09
Did any of you see this handsome tall man as a presenter at the Golden Globes? The microphone (which I measured with a ruler)..was higher for him than for almost anybody else, except for S. Baron Cohen. He is 6'2"...and as for the comment made about Paul Walker in "Timeline," Paul Walker says that he himself is six-foot three!!! Gerard is only a little shorter. The guy who played Francois in that movie, a Sutherland, is supposedly six-foot five..so everyone looked smaller next to him. The girl who played Kate is five-foot eight..use that asa reference. Hugh says on 13/Jan/09
I agree linebacker40. linebacker40 says on 13/Jan/09
Looked very similar to Paul Walker in Timeline, so I believe he's between 6'1" and 6'2". Regardless, a solid 6'1" actor. Hugh says on 11/Jan/09

Okay I'll say this. Seeming Brosnan looked a hair taller than Butler in that movie. I'll say Butler 186cm and Brosnan gets upgraded to 187cm. Fair? I think so. Hugh says on 6/Jan/09
I thought WIllis only moved to New York like 2 years ago. BW says on 4/Jan/09
Hugh, you seem to upgrade every actor on this page. More than half the time people exaggerate with their height,(typical height inflation, and especially actors. You can almost take 2cm from every actor's claim of height. actors always want to reach an image of perfection (height included).
In addition to that you have many pics with butler where he just look 6ft most. (pic with zack ephron, willis and raoul ...)
These pics are at least enough to be suspicious about the 6ft 1,25 in.
My personal analysis:
- looked the same height as Tom Wilkinson in RocknRolla (6'1)
- 2cm on Raoul (181cm)
- 3cm taller than Bruce Willis who is rumored to be 5'11
- 1,5 in on Colin Farrell who is likely shorter than 5'10 but probably wearing his cowboy boots.
- looked near 5'11 in Timeline next to Paul Walker.
May I just say that he didn't look any bit taller than his Captain in 300 who's listed here as 6ft flat.
Conclusion: This guy is tall but 184cm is the absolute Max I give him. I tend to say he's 6ft. Hugh says on 3/Jan/09
I think he's around 187cm. Hugh says on 2/Jan/09
Are you joking me? 182cm! Maribel you are high! Maribel says on 1/Jan/09
I'd say he's about 181 or 182cm at the most. Alucard says on 17/Dec/08
Actually, when looking on the pictures with Zac Efron...he looks way shorter. Zac Efron is what?...5'8"? Hard to see 5.25 inches between them, even if gerard butler is slouching etc. Now that I think of it, I have never seen this guy a 6'1.25 guy...His head is pretty small which makes him look taller, but that's it. He might be close to 6' tbh. Liz says on 15/Dec/08
He's going to be in "The Ugly Truth" with Katherine heigl..She's at least 5'9"(a big girl)...and in the trailer for this probably darling film, she has on 3-4" heels and they're dancing together: Butler is inches taller. I still say he's six-foot-two. And for Brosnan? Doesn't he always wear boots wtih big heels? He's shorter than Butler, I'm sure. Hugh says on 11/Dec/08
Brosnan was actually a bit taller than Gerry. cb says on 10/Dec/08
He looks the same height as Brosnan in shattered. NOT taller than 1,84cm. Compared to other shorter actors, he doesn't look that much taller. In 300, he is only 1" taller than David Wenham 1,80cm Martin says on 6/Dec/08
Looks about the height Rob have given him. J.J says on 4/Dec/08
this is very accurate i totally agree Jacky says on 23/Nov/08
to Valeri
you gotta look at this picture as well then, same event, same people

zac efrons chin is only up to butlers shoulder, and butler is leaning a bit too.
the picture you linked... i donno, maybe butler was bending his knees metzelder says on 29/Oct/08
this guy is between 6 feet to 6:2, apo says on 24/Oct/08
When I read the comments, I see that more and more people write that they are not convinced butler being 6'1 let alone 6'2, and the same people tries to reply the same way. OK so he is handsome and good actor, could be much better fit for bond than craig no doubt. But he simply does not look 6'2 at all. Consider legit 6'2 guys like hugh jackman, bana, hartnett, etc.. saying that butler is the same height as these guys is simply ridiculous... nick says on 24/Oct/08
wow rob that efron pic totally confirs him not being 6'1.25, If hes 5'9 he would need 3+ inches....no way Liz says on 19/Sep/08
Look at the Men's Health video (from his cover photo shoot October 2008)...and you can see how long his legs and torso are! And...he is so braave to jump off a thirty + height onto a pile of mattresses! It was on "E" news yesterday and on various Butler websites. He's six-two! Anonymous says on 11/Sep/08
zach,that means you agree as well that efron is 5'10 now,not 5'8.and Jonah Hill is 5'7 at least,not 5'6,maybe even 5'7.5 Zach says on 8/Sep/08
Valeri that photo, Gerard is sorta crouching a little, and Efron is certainly wearing lifts.
Efron is my height 5ft 10" maybe a little taller. Valeri says on 8/Sep/08
if butler is 6'2,then zac efron is around 6 feet.If he is 6'1,then efron is 5'11 at least. if however efron is 5'8,then butler is only 5'10
Click Here Zach says on 7/Sep/08
Just watched Rocknrolla, and this guy was huge, very lanky.
my guess is 6ft 2", great actor also. Liz says on 6/Sep/08
You cannot tell from pictures. Go to gerardbutler.net right now...to the gallery for the Toronto Film Festival. 6'2" Butler is standing next to John Malkovich...Gerard towers over him, and Malkovich is supposed to be six feet even. Then they have a picture of tiny Zach Eprhon(sp?) with Gerard, and he's almost the same height..he must be standing on a step or two above! I still say that Butler is very tall.. Hugh says on 28/Aug/08
Looked the same height as Wilkinson (6ft1). Dog says on 23/Aug/08
How the hell can you talk to them? You seem to know every actor in Hollywood! Fisher says on 3/Aug/08
Rob, from various photos with 5'11 Bruce Willis and 5'11.25 Raoul Bova. Do you think you can move Gerry down to 6ft 0.5in. I think his long/fit body gives us the perception of him being taller but, the photos can't lie. So, Rob can you possibly make a change? SuzinVancouver says on 30/Jul/08
Was around while shooting film in Vancouver in 06. This guy is well over 6 feet tall. Just because the height inflation thing is prevalent doesn't make it absolute. He's easily 6'2" I met and spoke directly with him on several occasions over the weekend. What is surprising is how slim he is. Corinne says on 26/Jul/08
I just saw him in person two days ago. My first though was that he was actually kind of short... like around 5'10, but he was slouching. When he straightened up he looked to be about 6' even maybe a half an inch more or so. apo says on 14/Jul/08
Thanks Ed, the "height inflation" is not always the fault of the celebs. I personally know that when you go to some agency, they tend to list you at least 1" or more inflated. For example my cousin is a male model, he is 5'11" exactly, and the agency told him he could pull off 6'1" with decent footwear, because people cannot tell the difference when you are on the runway so he is listed 6'1. For the actors as well, the "aimed" height is 6'2 especially if you are around 6' (they also tried for chris bale etc..) I believe this guy is another example, may be he is joking about it because the agency asked him to be 6'2 like my cousin.. Liz says on 12/Jul/08
I just looked at Stellan Skarsgard's height at 6'3...and he's with Gerard in "Beowulf and Grendel." It has them standing, wlaking together..and Gerard is just a little shorter. So i stand with Gerard being a strong 6'2"...In "Shattered" (aka "Butterfly on a Whell")...Pierce Brosnan is wearing his boots with heels, and Gerard is at least the same height. Ed(1) says on 11/Jul/08
Good post Apo!
I still think Butler is only 6ft0.25-6ft0.5, and 6ft2 with shoes. In my opinion I believe the majority of celebs quoted heights, are their with shoes heights with some inflation. Rarely do celebs or their publicists tell the truth about their height. It's similar with pro athletes, especially basketball players who get the with shoes bump. Then there are wrestlers and we all know how fabricated their images are! apo says on 9/Jul/08
if you are 6' or slightly above, u'll look tall next to %80 of people especially with clever footwear, but if you are really 6'2 (like jackman or bana or harnett), u should be noticed among the crowd, now if u have watched 300, especially the fight scenes, butler is above average like a full 6' but no where near dominant as a true 6'2 should be. he looks 1" taller than david wenham listed 5'11 here. and there's no evidence of him being 6'2 other than subjective movie impressions, but plenty of evidence (photos with 5'11 or 6' guys) that suggests a 6' frame. Liz says on 7/Jul/08
going back to the blurb at the top when Gerry said, you'd "better ask my publicist..." is a typical Gerry joke! He is always kidding around, and he thinks he is being funny; his publicist and manager tell him to stop just saying things like that because less imaginative folks think he is being literal. For Example, when he was being mentioned as possibly the next James Bond, the Scottish press asked him if he'd do the role. He was again beaing Gerry-funny, and said that he would if politician Anne Whiticomb would be his Bond girl. Anne Whiticomb is a old balding, fat woman..he was being ironic. However, the Scottish press then printed an article saying that he would do the role. Now, back to his height: watch the celebrated British mini-series "The Jury"..Gerard towers over all other 11 jurors..Watch him with co-starring women who are tall...In "Game" coming out on Nov. 30, 2008, his character is married to Amber Valetta, a 5'10" model/actress...This art shots of them together, and he towers above her. I believe he is six feet two... He has also just finished the filming of "The Ugly Truth" with tall Katherine Heigl..they put him in movies with tall women because he is taller! apo says on 4/Jul/08
he may be sexy but he is no where close to 6'2". if he were even 6'1, he could pull it off with clever footwear but come on. i watched 300 yesterday and he looks around 6'0.5 to be honest. in the only scene where you can argue is when he speaks to the persian ambassador in the beginning (a true 6'2 guy), and you can only see their head, and i believe this is for a reason.. jasmine says on 30/Jun/08
i cant commented on his height becouse to me it dont mater hes to damn sexy Artika says on 23/May/08
I say he's 6'0.25'' at most, barefoot. I can state that with no doubt as we've got mutual friends and it's happened to go out clubbing together a couple of times. He's way more handsome in the flesh than how he appears on screen (despite some deep wrinkles on his forehead) but he's definitely shorter than 6'2''. I've read that somebody hinted 6'3''.... Now, that's quite hilarious. Thank you for the laughs. ;) Tara Leech says on 12/May/08
I think that gerard butler height 6'2' is perfect for me i never got a kiss from him before i love two meet him someday iam living in ireland that's were i come from i love gerard butler apo says on 12/May/08
this guy is no where near 6'2, in all the picz with many different celebs, he looked 6' over and over again, I don't understand why so many people insist on 6'2. You don't lose 2 -3' by posture, and he does not have very bad posture anyway. People look very different in films because of speacial effects, all 6'2 defenders are talking about movies where the directors may distort the images at will, ignoring the conclusive pictures with willis, bova, farrell etc. some people even claim since he looks like a god he is 6'2. So a god should be at least 6'2?
That's ridiculous, this guy is a 6' may be 6'0.5 on a good day, nothing more. Adam says on 12/May/08
What would that make Xerxes of Persia: 7ft 5in ? Anonymous KinG says on 4/May/08
He gives an impression to people of being smaller like 5ft11 to 6ft in 300.. But in Nim's Island does look a good 6ft2.. Boxing Fighter says on 25/Mar/08
Those photos with Colin and Jason are tilted. It's normal to do that to get a better composition, to compensate some height difference.
My brother is a photographer and he told me he do that all the time. Just take a close look at the background and you'll see what I'm talking about. bobo says on 25/Mar/08

he must be 6ft 2 right out of bed and goes to 186 cm around 5 pm E says on 24/Feb/08
he looks at least 3 inches taller than david wehnam 5'11 in 300 so i think 6'2 dmeyer says on 10/Feb/08

184 cm sounds correct. Nowhere near 6'2.. J.J.F says on 21/Dec/07
That pic posted on 30March by 'MD' shows Brosnan in his usual lifts. His knees are way to high up. No one has legs that long compared to their torso. Boxing Fighter says on 1/Dec/07
This picture is extremely tilted.
The photographer tried to level their heights.
You can see better how tilted is the full sequence of pictures in this link:

Hehehehe
Rest assured Anonymous, I already saw that picture with Willis since I posted it.
But one or two photo are never enough to finish a case.
There are plenty of other photos showing him being at least 6ft1. Just take a look at 300 premiere with Santoro.
I would say 6ft0.5 or 6ft1, I don't know. Anonymous says on 28/Nov/07
The 6ft claim is based on photos with Bruce Willis and Raoul Bova. Both photos have been posted around 500 times in this thread so dont blame anyone if you cant find them. Boxing Fighter says on 27/Nov/07
Is this guess based on what, riaz?
No photos? riaz says on 17/Nov/07
KING LEONIDAS (g.butler) is a pure 6 footer. (exactly 6ft) Anonymous says on 10/Nov/07
Butlers height is dodgy business. First we have the Pic with Bruce willis, and we also have this one with 5'11.25 Raoul Bova Click Here
Considering these pictures, I think he is around 6ft Boxing Fighter says on 9/Nov/07
If Bruce Willis is 5ft11, Butler is NOT 6ft1.25!
6ft0.5 max!
That picture is very conclusive, don't you think?
See that post:
Boxing Fighter says on 20/Jun/07 Ed says on 9/Nov/07
I still say 6ft0.5 barefoot, near 6ft2 depending on the footwear. This makes perfect sense when comparing him to Willis at 5ft11.5. The 6ft2 claim is a with shoes number in my opinion. Anonymous says on 7/Nov/07
People who claim 6'2 should really explain the pics where he looks an undeniable 6ft. (with Bruce Willis, etc.) jack says on 4/Nov/07
sorry, he looks completely 6'2
even with his big muscles, it doesn't make him look any smaller Anonymous says on 29/Oct/07
The only way to explain pictures of him with actors like Willis, Leno and that football player, is that he is around 6'0 - 6'1. I dont see him being shorter or taller than this. Ed says on 8/Sep/07
The actor's name from 300 and Hidalgo that I couldn't remember is Peter Mensah, and he's on this very site listed at 6ft3! Ed says on 8/Sep/07
Butler might be pushing 6ft1, but I still don't think he's a full 6ft2. As for 300 he wore sandals, but if you look with a closer eye on the dvd docs. they are retrofitted with a good inch sole for all the running around and jumping he had to do. They couldn't give the guy a regular pair of flip flops with a next to nothing sole and have him taking in part in tons of grueling action shots. I for one saw a good 2 inch difference between Butler and Santoro in the premiere pics and onset candids, as well as him being shorter than the tall African American actor(6ft3, can't remember his name yet but I'll find it, he was also in Hidalgo) who plays the Persian messenger that gets kicked down the well.
As for Joel Schumacher the Phantom of the Opera director, I wouldn't trust his words alone, not to mention there are pics of the two of them together online at the Cannes film festival where Schumacher is a good 2 inches taller.
As for Paul Walker(6ft2) in Timeline, Walker wears converse all-stars with maybe a 0.5in heel next to Butler in 1.25-1.5 in heeled hiking boots and Walker is still taller. Walker is pushing 6ft2, maybe more like 6ft1.5 and unlike a lot of actors consistently wears flat soled shoes in movies and still looks way taller than most of the cast.
I will agree Butler can look 6ft2, but that is with boots on. I can't see him as barefoot 6ft2 and 6ft3 or more with boots. He does look tall in Dracula 2000, Dear Frankie, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life, and Beowulf and Grendel but he was also wearing boots in all these pics. I'd still say 6ft0.5 and near 6ft2 with boots on. The Raoul Bova(5ft11.25) pics where he's wearing sneakers instead of boots still say a lot in my opinion as does the MTV movie awards footage with Bruce Willis. Liz says on 7/Sep/07
I think Gerard IS 6'2"...He is at least as tall as Powers Booth in "Attila"...Did you ever see him in "A YOung Person's Guide to Becoming A Rock Star"? It's a UK mini-series that was one of his first acting gigs in the late nineties...he's so long-legged and heads taller than everyone else in the picture. Joel Schumacher, the director of "Phantom of the Opera" said of him in People magazine: "He looks like a god, but he's a goofball." Now, Joel is way over six feet (6'3"?)..and a fellow who's just six feet couldn't look "like a god." Also, when you have Rodrigo Santoro and Gerard standing next to each other in sandals (in one of the dvd extras that came with the dvd in FYE stores)...they're the same height exactly...no elevators for either of them. Also in the recent "Shattered" (aka Butterfly on a Wheel)on TNT last week, he was running and running in the movie, and one could see the long legs and extention...he's definitely more than just six feet. In 2005, in the NYTIMES style magazine (he was on the cover),the journalist stated that unlike most actors who are shorter in person, "Gerard was very tall." Now, would a reporter say that if the actor was just six feet? And as others have said, Gerard always seems to tell the truth (even about his reckless youth)..so I believe him when he says he is "6'2". venus says on 27/Aug/07
If he's the height listed above, then Paul Walker is a little shorter. Watch Timeline, Paul is what 6 feet? sam says on 23/Aug/07
He looked like a solid 6'2 in "300", especially while battling the Persians. Either that, or they used smaller actors to play the roles of the Persians. Boxing Fighter says on 12/Aug/07
Yes, I agree qwerty.
In Dracula 2000 he did look something like 6ft3. But in 300, no more than 6ft0.5. qwerty says on 11/Aug/07
He didn't look even remotely tall in 300. If I had to guess, I'd say around 6'0.5". funksmell says on 11/Jul/07
Slightly taller than Bruce Willis from that pic posted by Boxing Fighter.
Same height as Bova.
My guess 5'11.5" to 6' Anonymous says on 30/Jun/07
He is definitely a strong 6'1 kekeloke says on 21/Jun/07
